just different designs.. those are kinesis mudguards in your photo, mine are pdw. but yes i could hide the tab under the fork by bolting to the back but do prefer a but more coverage at the front
edit: although having said that - i only have it like that as the bluemels werent long enough.. might be better to move it backwards and get even more toe coverage
yes it came that way. they are the same on both our guards.... it can be mounted to the front or the back of the fork crown. yours is mounted on the back, mine on the front
